Anger ! Golf in progress may well define this course when I played it in the late 1970’s as a cramped little 9 Holer.
I had played Crieff the day before with mixed feelings and was still trying to resolve if I had enjoyed the golf or was it the drinks in the Clubhouse after followed by one of the best and biggest mixed grills I have ever seen (alas it was not served by the golf club but by a restaurant in the town.
Sorry I digress, yes I drove passed this little 9 Hole course on the road out of Crieff. The reason for playing it was if I remember correctly my friends wife noticing a craft or pottery factory near the course and wanted to visit, suggesting that we play a quick round (before my American friends ask what the meaning of quick means when related to golf ) let me define quick as around an hour.
The site has then just a timber cabin with changing rooms plus an honest Box for your Fees. The experience was not much better that the day before at Crieff, yet we had some fun being the only two on the whole course until we hit the 9th Tee. I see now the course has changed again this time thanks to more land, so my experience of this course is some 30-40 year old.

Maybe the sign was placed by a wise GCA Member although is it advisable to try and mix wise with GCA members – who knows, but to those who have a keen eye, yes not the Range Master geeks, you will see it’s a trick of Google’s camera.
Has anyone else played this course and was it since the modifications/extension?
